Horse Training FIRST RIDE| and why we buy so many HORSES

Join us today as Blake takes Dolly our Palomino Mare and does a first mount, first ride on her? Watch and see how she does as he does a little horse training in the round pen. Also - many have asked - so today we tell you whey we buy so many horses even if we don't have time to train and ride all of them! Meet our friend Sa from Samoa and learn what a size 2 pig means in his country. Bonus - you might even hear him talk his native language. One of our favorite parts of a work day on the farm is sometimes the end...don't miss the end as our animals run, buck and play in the field behind our home! So fun to watch!

Dolly is amazing so is Blake.

[@sharonhopeweaver6139]

I have ridden my mares when in foal up to foaling day.. keeping them active makes easy foaling. No hard riding last month of pregnancy. I am 71 now.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

AWESOME!

[@shirleyweeks6360]

I have my mares too. I even showed my one mare two weeks before foaling and two weeks after.

[@margaretporkolab7166]

I do the same and I was crucified. Thank you. And even showed after the foal was born.

[@TimCausleyhorsemanship]

Good job-advice-when you want to stop -relax-let all your air out-in other words breath out-so the horse feels it and hears it-you can do this during ground work as well-the horse will learn to stop from you relaxing in the seat and your air out-which also develops into whoa and versions of it-soft and direct communication repeated wins the day for your horse!!

[@slaphappyKat]

Excellent little palomino! She's beautiful! I'm drooling. That buckskin is my second choice. Then, of course, paint or pintos! I was around quarters all my childhood! Good job, guys!

[@quarterlimit5838]

I’m betting you’ve heard some of Dolly’s songs and just didn’t know it was her. The 80’s were great! Thanks for the vid!

[@hardluk3]

The difference between Dolly Parton and today’s “ country “ musicians is you knew the moment she started singing who it was. A new song comes out today and you have to ask who it is. But maybe I’m biased toward classic country.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Very true

[@MsNicholsLiz]

Dolly Parton is the most wonderful singer and actress. Going to Dollyland, someday.

Riding is good for pregnant mares. They will have a easier delivery if they are exercised rather then allowed to get too fat. Dolly is doing great, keep up all the good work 👍🏼. Can’t wait to see that foal.

Dolly Parton sang on The Porter Wagoner Show in the 60's. My Dad watched that show all the time so I already knew who Dolly was before she got famous. You might like to look that up to see her when she was really young.

Your son makes me feel so old. Just saw a clip of Dolly at Dollywood. Yep. She's still going strong. LOL Blessings to you and your family!

[@bonniewooters6796]

Could hardly wait to finish an appt so could see your new video. AND you delivered along with hopefully an OOPS after Blake heard a song or even saw Dolly Parton later in evening. Yep she’s not one to forget even if “old” 😅😂🤣. Loved hearing your stories about the horses and watching you and Blake working together to give the mare a good experience under saddle. Seen too many people who claimed to be trainers make the experience a negative one. Slams a bit in their tender mouth and then works with them as if horse is going to a rodeo. As for riding a mare in foal it’s obvious you know when not too and she’ll definitely let you know as well. Too bad she still has some learning while in foal as we always rode after foal was here and let the foal just follow freely. Best times and also like the ending of video seeing horses stirring up the dust just playing around. Well you definitely stir up some amazing memories for me like the bay mare going through obstacle course like she has no fear. That kind of horse will be a long time friend to someone who loves trail riding. We use to go on 100+ mile DeAnza trail ride and drive some cattle every year most of the time on horses we were training for endurance competitions. Don’t know why or how I found your family but believe your videos are meant to be. Ya sure have stirred up old memories and am loving every moment. I certainly am going back to your earlier videos and enjoying all the new ones too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

thank you Bonnie - you are so kind! and yes..Blake had heard Dolly's songs but had never seen her - we need to be better at educating him. ha ha

[@janetruggles8708]

My first pet was a horse. I road at 2 years. Was tied on to the saddle. A horse that is gentle broke, will be a better horse. You and your son are doing a great job. My family's place is on Rt66 in Oklahoma at Narsissa, between Afton and Miami. Up in the N.E. part of Ok.
